This 26.80-acre block of productive pasture sits in a tranquil Otter Valley setting with direct frontage to the River Otter. Level to gently sloping fields are divided into two enclosures, bounded by mature hedges and stockproof fencing, and have long been farmed for grazing. The land benefits from a natural water supply and straightforward access from the highway and Sewerage Works Lane.
The holding lies within the East Devon National Landscape and is entered into Environmental Stewardship (two mid-tier schemes, ending Dec 2025 and Dec 2027). The parcel is registered on the Rural Land Register; purchasers should note that delinked Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payments will be retained by the vendors and any transfer will incur the agent’s fee of £200 + VAT. A small section of Lot Four is held on a possessory title only.
Buyers should weigh practical constraints alongside the opportunities. Some lower-lying areas are rushy pasture and do flood occasionally; drainage and flood risk should be checked for intended uses. The land is in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ). Broadband is very slow and mobile coverage is average, which may affect remote-working or holiday-letting potential.
This lot suits buyers seeking a sizeable grazing block or an agricultural investment in a scenic river-valley location. It offers established access, water supply and stewardship payments in place, but carries administrative and environmental conditions that will influence farming, diversification or development plans.
